Question

Write the names of two major gaseous pollutants.

Answer 1

Two major gaseous pollutants are carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

Carbon monoxide- It is an odorless, colorless gas that is produced by the incomplete burning of fuel that is based on carbon like petrol diesel and wood.

Sulfur monoxide- It is produced mainly by thermal plants and by burning coals. Some industrial processes also contribute to the production of sulfur dioxide. This gas is responsible for acid rain and smog.
